Made his Bodley début in 1995, having observed our inaugural year from afar to asses whether or not a Yorkshireman should join such an outfit. Against his better judgement, Mike decided to join regardless and revealed himself to be a batsman of rare leg-side ability and a reluctant bowler of even more reluctant medium pace seamers. Handy with the gloves but even better in the field Mike took Bodley's Best Ever Catch at 2.49pm on Sunday 12th July 2015 at Great Haseley in Oxfordshire. Some say that Mike's full bodied dive to his right, snaffling the thunderbolt mid-air and rolling like a Hollywood stuntman into the path of a single beam of perfect sunlight as doves flew overhead, was a complete and utter fluke as he tripped over a divot, but this would be to overlook the fact that before this catch Bodley had not caught a ball since 1993. Mike is now under intolerable pressure to repeat the feat every match..
